“Class of 2009”

Description from Michelle Downy Chick: This is inspired by my (finally!) getting my M.A., by my sister graduating from high school, and my first graduating class at the school I'm teaching at now...and of course our beading friends...I think Little Chicky???

Thanks Susan That just made my night…it’s a tough job when you feel they’re all against you…but I just gotta remind myself, they’re just teenagers! They really are sweet kids…but you know how they can be sometimes

They can be quite smelly, too! At least, in Texas! LOL! I’ve been telling 4th & 5th grades they ought to start using that deodorant they gave them when they did THE MATURITY TALK. They haven’t taken it to heart yet.

LOL! Good thing I wasn’t drinking at the moment–would’ve gone everywhere! My favorite is boys after gym class…they feel they need to bathe in badyspray…mind you, my classroom has no windows, so coupled with the humidity this time of the year and the zero airflow and the BO to begin with…OH MY GOOD LORD IN HEAVEN!

Nice blues & browns, & I really like the Vintaj pieces you chose! Those rings look fun to play with. And congratulations on your MA!!!!

I’m loving the “teacher chat”! You ladies have my sincere admiration! To maintain control over a class of any age is a feat in itself, not to mention getting the kids to learn anything. We just had our last day today – WOO HOO!!!

WOW, congratulations to all…seniors, college grads, and of course to all of us teachers out there!! And there seems to be a lot of us out there… LOL This is just a great place to kick back and relax, and of course make jewelry. I am so looking forward to summer vacation. We only have 9 more student days and 1 more teacher day.
And girls… I taught 5th grade for 4 years!! They sure do get stinky!!! LOL
